It has been twelve years since there has been a "Muppets movie" made. Jason Segel, co-writer and co-executive producer is a die-hard Muppets fan and he stars in this new movie as well.
This movie takes place in Smalltown, USA. Gary (Jason Segel) a really sweet and innocent guy who grows up and his younger brother Walter (a muppet) stays the same and never changes. They are very close, the best of brothers and love each other dearly. They love the Muppet shows and watch the re-runs over and over.
Gary has a girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) who is a very sweet and naive girl that has patiently been dating him for ten years.
They decide to go to Los Angeles with Walter and celebrate their ten year anniversary with a special dinner. They also take Walter to Hollywood to find the Muppet Theater in hopes of helping the Muppets to perform "just one" more time at the Muppets theater.
When they arrive there they are very disappointed to find it in shambles and a greedy mean man, Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) trying to buy it so he can drill underneath it for oil.
Gary and Walter are on a mission to save the theater and locate Kermit the Frog to help them. They want to save the theater and restore it to its former glory days. They have to raise ten million dollars to save the theater. They need to locate all of the former Muppets who have all moved on and are living their own individual lives. They travel all over with Kermit trying to convince the Muppets to join in with them. When Kermit gets back together with Miss Piggy, it was adorable! In order to raise the money they decide to host a fund-raiser at the theater. Tex Richman tries every way he can to undermine all of their efforts. It is successful and everyone is happy. Mary and Gary finally get to have their anniversary dinner and he proposes to her. There was a big song and dance scene at the end that was great!
They also have several cameo scenes from actors including Mickey Rooney, which was a lot of fun!
I absolutely loved this movie! I was so impressed that they stayed true to the original Muppets storyline. The songs were sentimental and very touching. It took me right back to the original TV series. I would recommend this movie for children of all ages. The parents will appreciate it and enjoy returning back to the Muppets they remember.
I am giving "The Muppets" four bags of popcorn!
